Annie and I have taken a rather long break from riding and have been focusing on our ground work – specifically doing straightness training. With the nice spring weather, I have been getting an itch to ride. Not only in the arena, but outside. I am hoping to take Brady outside soon for a [...]

Since we’ve been working with Brady more, and doing lots of new things his confidence is definitely improving! He’s very worried when working with him, like he’s unsure if he’s going to do what you want. That side of him is leaving and he’s starting to be more confident in [...]

Definitely a big day for Brady… Why? Because I got on him! I was fortunate to have another pair of hands helping me (my boyfriend, Jeremy) which I think helped both Brady and I stay a little calmer. Brady wasn’t very worked up, he was more bored than anything it seemed. We worked with Angel [...]

I got out to the barn again today, which was very nice. I wasn’t sure what to do with them… I guess I never really have a plan. I have ideas of what I want to try or do, but those are always subjective to each horses’ mood and how things go that day… I [...]

School has kicked into high gear since returning and needless to say, for me it has been an adjustment. Even just 1 week of living the barn life made me want it even more… All in time I keep telling myself. So, I didn’t get out there for 2 weeks! Ugh! And I could tell… [...]

It’s been a fabulous spring break! Lots of horse time and the rest of the time was spent working in our yard at our new house. In my last time out to the barn for spring break we brought a visitor – a friend from school to meet the horses and see what we do [...]

Brady Ground Work, 3/20/12 from Filly Tracks & Happyloosas on Vimeo. I like farrier days… Our farrier is pretty amazing and I usually spend almost all day at the barn on farrier days. Today was no different. So… the farrier report… Brady was first up for the farrier. He did good – he never does [...]
